We made strenuous efforts to ensure arrangements were in place for it to happen, working with the organisers, the Durham Union Society, an independent student debating society, and the police to ensure the safety and security of those attending.
Durham University is committed to upholding freedom of speech within the law and the right to lawful protest.
